Timelessline Art by Michal Kubacki

Timeless drawing from Timelessline on Vimeo.

I am not a fan of horse/ horses drawing etc. but these...the lines that creates these horses is something different here...
Michal Kubacki is the creator of TIMELESSLINE based in Poznan, Poland.

'It all began one day when I was drawing.

I began to realize that my subconscious, not my conscious self, was guiding my hand and I was merely holding the pen for my subconscious to draw through me. Upon this momentous realization, I began to notice life in different dimensions of time. This influenced me so much, that I could not deny absolute of being.

I draw "Alla prima" with ink, sometimes I use marker pen on paper. I invented a special technique which expresses my philosophy- TIMELESSLINE.'

- Michal Kubacki.

Discarded Clothes Sculpture by Guerra De La Paz

'The overabundance of discarded clothes though beautiful in some ways, seems depressingly sad when collectively hanging from a ceiling or arranged like a weeping rainbow.'
- gBlog.

The phrase above makes us think about our daily "mass-produced refuse" by creatively putting together old discarded clothes into stunning, artistic sculpture. Guerra De La Paz, a collaboration between two artists, Alain Guerra and Neraldo de la Paz doesn’t see trash, in this sense, but an opportunity for artistic beauty and expression.
